A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER.
He Obtains 01e5 on a Draft
which 10 Not Good.


About four weeks ago young man
named H. E. Oppenheimer came to this
city to repr esent the firm of II. Webster
&Co., of New York; in other words, he
was commercial traveller. He was, as
the saying goes, zone of the boys" and
wore clothes of the latest pattern, with
ueckties of apotless white. He sported
black mustache and carried golden.
headed cane; in fact he was almost as
dudish as the New York lads. His par.
ents reside in San Francisco, where his
father has a large wholesale tobacco
store on California street, and knowing
that Mr.. Seldner was a firm friend of
his parents, he called upon him at bis
store, No. 2l5 Main street. On Satur-
day night of last week, just as Mr.. Seld.
ner was closing his store, young Open.
heimer walked in and asked MIR. Seldner
to do him favor. He said he wanted
to leave for New York on Sunday morn
ing aud had run out of money. 1t was
too late to 20 to bank to cash draft,
and if Mr.. Seldner would not do it he
would be delayed two days. Mr.. Seld-
ner hesitated at first, as he did not
know much about the boy, but
finally he cashed the draft for $l25 on
the firm of H. Webster 4 Co., New
York. The next day, Sunday, Mr.
Seldner happened to drop around at
the hotel where Oppenheimer had STOP
ped and in conversation which followed
he learned that Oppeuheimer had taken
the train for San Francisco instead of
New York, This aroused his suspicion
and he telegraphed to New York to H.
Webster & Co.. asking if they would
cash Oppenheimer's draft. 81. Webster
& Co. answered that they would not.
Mr.. Seldner then telegraphed to Open.
heimer's parents in San Francisco and |
they answered that they would not pay
any more of Oppenheimer's debts. They |
said that he had been Of such great |
trouble to them that he had caused all |
the gray hairs in his fathers head. Since
then Mr.. Seldner has learned that OPP. |
penheimer has gone to New York by |
the way of Lathrop, and is not likely |
that he will disappear since he has
wealthy relatives there. As soon as Mr.. |
Seldner ascertained that the draft was of |
no value he obtained warrant for the |
arrest of n. E. Oppenheimer, and he in

THE MlKADO,"

As Rendered by the Carleton
Troupe Last Night.
The opera named in the caption above
has been produced in Los Angeles per-
haps fully q score of times, and proba-
bly, never SO well, certainly never better,
as last night. The costuming Of the
Carleton Company is gorgeous, and the
setting is superb. The background in
the second scene is charmingly beautiful,
and most distinctly Japanese in all its
details.
The cast, which is as follows, fitted
the several roles most admirably:

This popular opera, which abounds in

which is full of sentiment, romance and

that suits all parts Of the house. The

ACCORDING to the latest estimate, the
total wealth of Great Britain Is set
down at S43,GO0, 600. or about 81 PAS
each for every man, woman and child
Ia the United Kingdom This is said to
be $500 more than such vision in
the United States would produce. though
in the absence of figures this is merely
guess work. Wealth is much more
evenly distributed in this country than
in Great Britain, where one out of ev~
cry sc residents is registered as pauper.
Ohe-tenth of the population of Great
Britain are engaged in agricultural pur-
suits, while one fifth of the area of Eng
land is held by 223 prOprietors, on \
fourth of Scotland by II. and One'third
of Ireland by 292. 1t is worthy of note
that the present depression in the agr
cultural interests Of Great Britain has
been produced by the competition in
home markets Of the grain raised by her
dependencies. and especially by the
cheap wheat sent thither by India. Thus
John Bulls greed for the acquisition OF
territory has served largely to psuperize
his own people.

THE Wheeling IUtelligencer Of to-day
makes the following summary of the
result of the elections in the States
that voted on Tuesday:
The victory in New Jersey is COM
plete and the Republicans have a good
majority in the Legislators. insuring
the election of Republican United
States Senator.
New York State has gone Democratic
by about $4,000 plurality. The great
fight over the District AttorDeyship in
New York city has resulted in the cleo
tion of Fellows, Democrat, by 5000 ma
j'rity.
In Ohio, Gov Foraker is reelected by
IA handsome majority. The entire Re-
publican ticket is elected In Hamilton
county. which is considered a great tri
umph for the Republicans. who also
have both houses of the Legislature by
large majorities.
The result III Virginia shows Malone
defeSted, and the election of ex-COn-
gre5sman Barbour, aS Senator Riddles
beTger's successor pretty well assured
The Virginia Democrats are counting
on 6l cut OF the 100 members OF the
House of Delegates and twotthhds of
the State Legislature.
Large Republican, gains are reported
from Massachusetts the most important
being The cutting dOwn of the Demo
Democratic vote in Boston 5000. The
Republicans have gained four State Ssn-
ators aud ten or Twelve Representatives
TIE postponed election III Rhode Isl
and fo- Congressman, resulted in yic>
tory for Warren o. Arnold. Republican.
The Prohibition vote in. this State was
very small.
OSing to the Republican disaffection
in Philad ..hia, the Democratic candi-
dates for Sheriff aad ptroIler are
elected. The rest of the city ticket is
Republican. Tbs Pennsylvania State
ticxet is elected by handsome maj jri
ty, though light vote sas polied. In
Philadelphia the Republicans were uni
ted on the State ticket. though divided
on the city tirket.
Chicago offers sOmewhat of surprise
by the Republicans making clean
sweep.
Nsbra5ka is Republican by over 2O,>
600 majority.
In most of the States Prohibition
tickets were in the field. In New York
aud Ohio returns show a falling off in
the Prohibition vote. la Rhode Island
it fell eff great deal In some portions
of Pennsylvania they pollei a pretty
gOld vote. but, in the whole State, do
not appear TO have developed much
strength. Ali interest in the Oregon
election centered in the Prohibition
amendment, but the returns declare it
defeated by about 1000 majority.
Iowa also gives good Republican
majority, bat the returns show that the
Dem ocrats have made some gains.

The victory OF Tuesday, under the
circumstances. was the most signal ia
many years, aud is the subject of uni
versAl eongratulatiOn among Rspubli-
cans. At the beginning it was thought
impossible to defeat Prosecuting Attor
ney Kennon the re election of Repre-
4ntative PooTnan was environed with
difficulties s-mOnsCr0us stories about
Commissioner Berry had been indus
triously circulated and here and there
were the sores and diSappoint ments Of
past campaigns. 0u top Of all these
were the large expenditures necessary
in the construction of new public build
ings, and delays in- the work, which
were beyond the control of the Com
missjoners. but for which they were
held accountable by very many people
The party was aSsailed on the one hand
because it had gone too far in restrain,
ing the liquor traffic, and on the other
because it had not gone far enough.
In the treatment of AL these ques-
tious straightforward course was
marked ont aud pursued to the end.
The persons 10 control of the party ma
ehinery believed the party Was right,
and they looked to Republicans for
a vindication of its ideas and its agents.
The Indications are the Democrats had
abundance of dirty money, and that
their dirty agents scattered it profusely
or the eve of the election, especially in
the river towns.
The lesson of this election is that Dem
Ocrats can no longer buy their way into
Office in this county, and especially that
saloon influence is a weakness rather
than a strength to candidate. A very
gratifying feature. too, is the apparent
fact that Republicans have determined
that they will no longer vo.e Democrats
into Influential offices, over good men of
their own party.
We extend congratulations to the Re-
pubiicanS OF the cDu3ty, aad suggest
that the camp-ires be kept bright, pre-
nara:ory to the great struggle OF next
war
